Abstract

The Islamist terrorist attacks which took place on the 11 September 2001 in the United States had a profound impact, giving rise to serious and international implications for national security. Subsequently, the United Kingdom witnessed its own terrorist attacks in 2005, driven by an emerging and dangerous ideology rooted in extreme Islam. Importantly, these attacks were planned and executed by British citizens. This ‘homegrown’ element to the terrorist threat spread quickly and globally, and this ignited debates about how the law should regulate the manifestation of belief. Religion, consequentially, became an integral part of counter-terrorism law in the United Kingdom. With this in mind, this thesis aims to examine the effects of highlighting the religious dimension of the Prevent Duty upon Law and Religion as a field, as well as on faith communities. The first three chapters will explore the significance of the religious dimension of the Prevent Duty for the scholarship of Law and Religion. The subsequent three chapters will highlight the importance of the Prevent Duty and religious radicalisation for faith communities.
